Aug 12 : Afghanistan will be the "home" side when they meet India in three Twenty20 Internationals in September despite the series taking place at Delhi's Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Afghanistan have largely played their home fixtures in the United Arab Emirates in recent years, with international sport yet to resume in the country due to security concerns following the Taliban's takeover in 2021.
"We have hosted our home fixtures in both India and the UAE in recent years, and given the importance and scale of this series, we believe India provides an excellent setting for the event," Afghanistan Cricket Board Chairman Mirwais Ashraf said in a statement.
The Indian board's president Mithun Manhas said they were committed to supporting the growth of cricket in Afghanistan.

"We believe there is scope to do more together and will continue to support Afghanistan cricket while strengthening the relationship between the two cricketing nations," he added.
